You might say I got a little carried away with the old print button for this issue. I wanted to get good coverage of the election of Pius XII because of his importance over the coming years and the controversy surrounding his reign even unto the present day. Even with all that this is still a lot of material. Probably the most I have ever posted to a single thread. So, I will add a table of contents to help the reader navigate through it. I recommend “Pius XII Won Fame as Vatican Envoy, beginning at image #10, as good background on his career.

I got a report that the last three images did not come through for some viewers. I probably will not attempt a post of this size again any time soon.
